In the aftermath of the terrible fire that struck Notre-Dame de Paris on April 15, 2019, the Louvre Museum opened its doors to the cathedral's masterpieces for safekeeping. Thus, a priceless portion of the treasury, famous for the remarkable relics it houses, particularly the Crown of Thorns, found refuge within the museum.

Survivors of a turbulent history, chalices, ciboria, stoles, ancient books and precious relics are thus exceptionally reunited, before returning to their restored setting, the admirable sacristy built in the mid-19th century at the foot of the cathedral by Jean-Baptiste Lassus and Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc.

This collection forms the most recent chapter in a thousand-year-old story that the work traces through inventories, historical accounts, paintings, illuminated manuscripts and engravings, weaving a unique and fascinating thread between several periods of the history of art and architecture.
